Watching the Olympics? Post about it here.
A quick intro.... 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11 It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron. Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold. There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday. "I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement. "I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is." Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition. Quote:

Torri Huske wining the 100m fly was awesome! She missed the podium in Tokyo by the narrowest of margins. The look on her face when she won it was like delirious shock. Then immediate tears. Really cool.

Men's Mountain Bike
With a ballsy move in the final 500m, Tom Pidcock(GB) passes Victor Koretzky (FRA) to take the gold medal. Rubbins racin' boys!!
Pidcock flatted and had to get a new wheel during the race, costing him a big chunk of time. Alan Hatherly (RSA) win a historic first medal in mountain biking for S. Africa to round out the podium. Riley Amos and Christopher Blevins (USA) finish 7th and 13th respectively. The future's bright for USA MTB! |

So, am I the only one in love with this big, bad ass lady?
I find her to be sexy AF. And she has the best personality and is so much fun. And I absolutely love to watch her play rugby. I don't care if you think she is manly, or too fat, or ugly. Sometimes, certain people just do it for you, and she just does it for me. ![]() |

It was my favorite pic. She is hilarious, and a beast, and I think she is beautiful.
She has plenty of pics where she looks great on Instagram, or at least great to me, but I love her personality. I stumbled upon a video of her talking about Olympic athletes not being deterred by cardboard, and I didn't even realize she was the rugby player. So, I watched a lot of her other clips, and she just has a fun personality. Like I said, she just does it for me. Weirdly, she isn't even close to the Women I usually find attractive, but I'm ok with that. And I find this really attractive. No joke, I think she looks hot while playing this hard. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5l9q...EwZWxyaGtyNGY3 |
